I’ve mentioned before that Topshop has been using textile designer Celia Birtwell’s association with Ossie Clark to knock off the late designer’s work. To sum it up for those who didn’t read my previous post on the topic, Celia was married to Ossie back in the day. She designed the striking prints that were used…

It’s Like Deja Pseu All Over Again
On Sunday, I had the great pleasure of dining with gorgeous blogger Deja Pseu and her handsome husband Mr. Pseu. As you may recall, DP is the super-generous winner of the NieNie fundraising auction, and I was thrilled to be able to present her with her blue topaz earrings and specially engraved Diana necklace in…
Curses!
Gorgeous blogger Moira of Dog Art Today cruelly sent me a link to an October 30 Christie’s auction of fabulous vintage clothing called Resurrection: Avant-Garde Fashion. Now I’m pining for numerous pieces that I’ll never have, including, but definitely not limited to: Stephen Sprouse Norma Kamali Norma Kamali Paco Rabanne Ossie Clark UPDATED TO ADD:…

eBay Items of Interest
Check out this stunning, star-trimmed trench by Viktor & Rolf. Too bad one of the stars is showing some serious fraying and the starting bid is still 410 pounds ($725.17)! I wouldn’t mind the fraying if the coat had “bargain” potential. I’ll have to keep an eye on this just to see if anyone bids….
Meet Cherie of Shrimpton Couture
I discovered the vintage delights of Shrimpton Couture through owner Cherie’s blog. I have been perusing her site for months without buying anything. Hard to believe, I know, but I love every piece so much that I can’t decide on just one! No wonder Shrimpton Couture was named one of the top 10 vintage clothing…

London, Day 2: The Wizard of Ossie
Today was all about Ossie Clark. Ossie obsessives like gorgeous blogger Sharon Rose know that the late designer, who was never good with money, sold his financially troubled line to clothing manufacturer Al Radley in the ’70s. (A large percentage of the vintage Ossies floating around nowadays are from the Ossie Clark for Radley line.)…
